To all 'uiho'm it may concern: I

Be it known that 1, JOHN W. WILLIAMS,

a citizen'of the United States of America,

mentsin Receptacle-Holders, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to receptacle holdhave the same locked therein sothat the bottle or jar cannot be stolen or surreptitiously removed andthe object thereof is to provide a holder for such purpose in a manneras hereinafter set forth and claimed whereby the receptacle can beconveniently placed therein and also locked without the employment oftheordinary lock and key and at the same time preventing the removaltive view of a milk of the seal or closure of the receptacle until thelatter is removed from the holder.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a holder for the purposeset forth which shall be comparatively simple in its construction andarrangement, strong, durable, convenient in its use, readily set up withrespect to a suitable support therefor, and inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and such other objects in view as may hereinafter appear, theinvention consists of'the novel construction, combination andarrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described in detailand then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing forming a part of thisspecification, wherein there is illustrated a preferred embodiment ofthe invention, but it is to be understood that the structural elementsthereof can be varied or changed, as to the size, shape and manner ofassemblage without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

In the drawing :-Figure 1 is a perspecbottle holder as applied to a doorFig. 2 is awvertical sectional view of the holder, and Fig. 3 is a planof the same.

In the accompanying drawing the reference numeral 1 denotes a support,as a door or window frame, and connected to the lower edge of the doorupon the outer side and adjacent to the free edge thereof, are verticalmetallic guides 2 which are secured to the Specification of LettersPatent.

door by screws 3 or other fastening means.

These guides have the confronting edges thereof off-set, as at a toprovide vertical" guide flanges 5, and the material bordering upon thelower edges of said flanges is bent inwardly, as at 6 to close the lowerends of guide ways 7 The reference numeral 8 denotes a rectangular plateslidably mounted in the guide Ways 7, and the front side of said plateat the upper and lower edges thereof, is provided with a bottle holderor cage, comprising a band 9 and a cup 10, the former being located atthe upper edge of the plate 8 and the latter at the lower edge. The band9 and the cup 10 are secured to the plate 8 by rivets 11 or otherfastening means, and are adapted to cooperate in retaining a milk bottle12 in a vertical position upon the support or door 1.

The support or door 1 above the plate 8 is provided with an elongatedhorizontal slot 13 and slidably mounted in said slot is a flat plate 14of a width greater than the diameter of the mouth of the bottle 12. Theplate 14 is of a sufficient length to extend from the inner side of thedoor 1 outwardly over the bottle 12, and the outer end of the plate isprovided with"'a vertical opening 15 to facilitate the movement of theplate from the outer side of the door, it being only necessary to insertthe finger in the opening 15 to pull the plate outwardly, as willpresently appear.

The inner end of the plate 14 is provided with a button 16, whichfacilitates the movement of the plate from the inner side of the doorand limits an outward movement of the plate 1. One edge of the plate 11adjacent to the ends thereof is provided with notches 17 and 17' adaptedto receive the beveled end 18 of a spring latch-19, carried by the innerside of the door in proximity to one end of the slot 13.

A button 16 limits the outward movement of the plate 14, while theinward movement of the plate 14 is arrested at two points by theentrance of the latch 19 into the notches 17 and 17% The position of thenotch 17 with respect to the outer end of the plate let, is such, thatwhen the plate 1 1 is at the limit of its inward movement, the outer endof the plate will project from the slot 13 and will prevent the removalof the plate 8, as if an attempt is made to remove the plateS from itsguides, the vertical movement of the plate 8 will be arrested by theprojecting end of the plate 14.

The manner in which the holder is used is as follows :After the bottleor receptacle 12 has been placed through the band 9 and seated in thecup 10, the plate 14 is pulled outwardly until the button 16 strikes theinner surface of the door. If an attempt is made to push the plate 14inwardly, suchmovement will be arrested by the entrance of the latch 19into the notch 17. When the plate 14 is pulled outwardly, so as to lockthe bottle 12 in its support, the plate 14: extends over the top of thebottle and prevents the removal of the seal or closure of the bottle.The latch 19 can only be released from the inside of the door. When thelatch is removed from its engagement A device of the class describedcomprising a support, a holder projecting from one face of said supportand adapted to support a receptacle in .a vertical position, a fiatplate mounted in said support and shiftable in a direction at rightangles with respect to said receptacle for preventing the removal of thelatter when the plate extends over it, and releasable means carried bythe inner face of said support and adapted to engage in the side ed e ofthe plate at the inner portion'thereof and in the same side edge of theplate at the outer portion thereof and when in engagement with the sideedgeof the inner portion thereof preventing inward movement of the platethereby locking the receptacle in the holder and when in engagement withthe side edge at the outer portion thereof arresting the inward movementof the plate thereby preventing the passage of the plate entirelythrough the support.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
